Spring Gentian

Trish and I took a trip to the Burren in Co Clare today. We were probably a bit early for the flowers but had hoped to find some Spring Gentian, we were not disappointed though they were few and far between. The Spring gentian is a tiny flower and not easy to spot when they are only occurring singly as was the case today, but this particular one did have some companions coming behind it and no doubt in a week or so there will be a really good show.
